Third Period


The third period was where Toronto truly shined. John Tavares added another goal early on, extending their lead further and showcasing his leadership on ice once again. William Nylander also made his mark by scoring a crucial goal that solidified their dominance over Utah's defense line-up.


Despite efforts from Utah’s side including consistent pressure and shots on target throughout all periods - totaling 24 shots - they could not overcome Anthony Stolarz’s impressive goaltending performance which included saving key attempts during critical moments of playtime.
